Sniping properly is a lot of work. If you're just redlining, you're doing it wrong. And if you never, EVER die from sniping, you must be buried so deep in the hills behind your redline, that you won't be able to contribute. |

I'd like to see steadily diminishing returns on it, so that the good players are still rewarded, but the fresh Academy recruit isn't left completely in the dark. Let's say 501 - 1250 earns you 3 SP per WP, and 1251+ gives you 1 SP per WP. I earned 750, so I get (500 * 5) + (250 * 3) = 3250 SP.
Something like that, so the fresh players are still rewarded well for at least trying, while the vet is still gaining more than him for actually doing better.
Fresh players get awarded the benefit of skilling more quickly, as initial skills cost for less SP. Fix the SP cost, or fix the amount of SP people earn, but not both. Keep It Simple, Stupid.
No degressive SP gain, progressive skill cost, rebates and subsidies. For that, we already have the bloody government.

Make people not want to find the exploit in the system that allows easy farming of SP, but instead want to play the game as it was intended to be played.
Compare: Knife that man over there in the face and I'll give you a piece of chocolate.
To this: Knife that man over there in the face or I'll knife you in the face.
Now, the first one rewards you for murdering the man with chocolate. The latter has a consequence for not murdering him. Which one would you be happier to comply with?
AFKers just want to gain easy SP, without having to 'work' for it. They can't be bothered to play properly, they abandon their team, and don't care that they screw up other's people fun and ISK in the process. If you're that selfish, no SP cap rollover or magical new content is going to change that.
Waiting for new content is a crap excuse, and you know it. Same for a cap rollover: the SP still has to be earned, so they'll still keep on AFKing. |

Of course all of the AFK'ers could just up and quit, but the game would be no better than it is today. I see this as a chance to do some good for the game while also fixing the AFK farming issue.
AFK'ers drive people away. How can you have a decent (and fun) match if half your team is gone? AFK'ers need to realize they're part of Dusk's problems.
If all AFK'ers would quit, the game would be better than today. More even teams balance the playing field and make for a more exciting (and less frustrating) game. So, by all means, please quit and good riddance. You have my thanks! |

If the game is that boring that you can't be bothered to play it, but still pretend to play for some imaginary skills, YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE! |
